This weekend has been an absolute whirlwind of news for genre fans, as San Diego Comic-Con 2024 raged its way through fandom with the latest and greatest news imaginable. We covered some of the Hall H experiences we attended (Marvel Studios and Alien: Romulus), as well as some of the parties (Fandom). However, one of the most fun experiences was the activation for the highly anticipated video game adaptation, Borderlands. Over the weekend, we were able to attend a replica of Moxxi’s Bar from the film and games in real life!

With Borderlands hitting theaters August 7, you know Lionsgate had something huge planned for San Diego Comic-Con. And they didn’t disappoint one bit! They brought the world of the video games and the movie to life, with an actual replica of Moxxi’s Bar, right from the Hard Rock Hotel in the Gaslamp District of Downtown San Diego.

We were fortunate enough to tour the facility which immersed us in fictional bar with an incredibly fun experience complete with food, drinks, demos of the Borderlands games, slot machines, and even a dunk-the-Psycho tank!

Here’s our quick tour of the fine, freaky establishment:

We met Claptrap. Looked at some weapons from the game and film. We even got to play some slots. But as is the rule at Moxxi’s, the house always wins:

Of course. no visit to a Borderlands-themed bar would be complete without seeing Claptrap himself!

And naturally, it was a good opportunity to get rid of some Psychos.

All in all, it was a brilliant time! And we couldn’t be more grateful for our visit to Pandora.

Want to visit the wastelands of Pandora yourself? Then all you have to do is go see Borderlands! Only in theaters August 7!
